LYONS The are of a match against flimsy decorations, police say now, set off Saturday night's holocaust at Co-coanut Grove that snuffed out 440 lives in a few of the most horrible moments in the history of Boston. These lives were mostly-young and gay, and it was a 16-year-old bus boy who lighted the fatal match, to see to screw in a bulb that a patron had loosened so as to darken the corner where he sat. The story is not yet complete, and may not be for days, of this, Boston's most terrible disaster.
